2023 Map of Berlin

About this map

Hackers Creek winds through a landscape of narrow hollows and ridge-top settlements in this portion of Lewis and Upshur Counties. The community of Berlin sits at the junction of Berlin Rd and Laurel Lick Rd, while the village of Lorentz serves as a southern anchor along the corridor of Weston Rd. The map illustrates a classic Appalachian settlement pattern where family history is etched into the terrain through numerous small burial grounds, including the Morrison Cem, Reger Cem, and the dual Old Johnstown Cem and New Johnstown Cem sites near the northern border. To the southeast, the terrain transitions toward the city of Buckhannon, with the Upshur County Regional Airport established in the valley of Fink Run. Numerous small waterways such as Bloody Run and Bull Lick define the many branching valleys that have shaped local transport and land use for generations.
